How can I check if any of my indexers are currently down?

You can use the get_indexer_status tool. It retrieves the current health status of all configured indexers, highlighting any errors or connection issues.

02

What is the best way to add a new indexer without knowing the JSON structure?

First, run get_indexer_schema to see the templates for supported indexers. Once you have the correct fields, you can use add_indexer with the required data.
